Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring no shell fragments are present.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the mixture appears uniform in color.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper, whisking again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the entire pan surface.
- Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet.
- Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, creating soft curds.
- Continue cooking and folding the eggs slowly, ensuring they do not stick or brown too quickly.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the surface.
- Gently fold the cheese into the eggs, allowing it to melt and incorporate throughout the mixture.
- Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs are creamy and the cheese is fully melted.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Garnish with additional fresh ground pepper if desired, and serve hot.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always use medium-low heat to prevent eggs from becoming tough or rubbery.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Ensure your eggs are completely combined for a uniform, creamy texture.
- Don't Overcook: Remove eggs from heat when they're still slightly wet - they'll continue cooking from residual heat.
- Choose Quality Cheese: Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting and flavor.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use fresh eggs and high-quality butter for the best taste.
- Experiment with Cheese: Try different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, monterey jack, or even a blend for unique flavors.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed hot and fresh right off the pan.
